Description

Customers and ServiceNow partners can use the Now Support (HI) on HI to obtain information about the real availability of all their instances. Real availability is the percentage of production time that an instance is up and available for use.

Partners can obtain real availability data for all instances belonging to their company and for instances belonging to customers they manage.

Viewing instance real availability data

ServiceNow customers and partners can view data about their production and non-production instances.

[Partners only] To view a customer company, use the Company switcher in the header of the Now Support (HI).

The data for the past 90 days is generated and appears on the screen.

In the example, the production real availability is 98.610%

Production and non-production instances are shown. If the company you are viewing has multiple production instances, then the production real availability percentage is shown for each production instance associated with the company.

For more information about an individual outage, point to a yellow or red "chiclet." The case number, start time, end time, and impact are listed. The impact is the outage duration calculated as outage start time minus outage end time.

Retired and suspended instances remain on the graph for 90 days. Inactive days are shown with a gray chiclet. Instances may be retired for a period of time and then reactivated.
